Hi
I wasn't sure that Vt100 codes would work in a standard DOS screen so I have
just tried it and confirmed that it doesn't work.
To achieve colored text it looks like I would need to start using BIOS calls amd
poking values into video attribute memory?
Any of the programming gurus here have some example code for this that would
compile in Visual Studio C ?
Many thanks
Geoff
